1. It May Be Fast, but It Won't Fly with That Wing

Spoiler alert! No one in their right mind needs to be warned against this mod.

2. Friends Don't Let Friends Drink and Mod

This is what happens when Bubba and Cletus have a great idea and a couple of cases of beer. Don't be one of those guys.

3. Step Away From the Car and Put Down the Spray Can

It probably sounded like a good idea when you were booking that safari trip on the African Savannah; however, as it turns out, it wasn't. If you are serious about doing this mod, be sure to add the whisper mode mod also, because your high performance engine is just too loud and will scare the prey away.

4. 170 Degree Thermostat

For some reason, a popular mod that promises a boost in performance is the 170 degree thermostat. Don't believe the hype. Water condensation needs to boil off and out of your motor oil to maintain the life of your engine. This little doohickey will prevent the oil temperature to reach the proper temperature to convert that condensation to steam and exit your high performance engine. The irrelevant increase in horsepower just isn't worth it.

5. Monster Truck Tires

Another reason to illustrate the obvious fact that alcohol and modifications just do not mix. Don't drink and modify.
